I Would Die In 3 Months If This Thing Happening To Me Because I Would Be Boring Af

"Jika Allah berkehendak, Dia Mahakuasa untuk menciptakan semesta sekejap saja", tulis Imam Al Qurthubi, "namun Allah mengajarkan hamba-Nya tentang kelembutan dan ketelitian pada segala hal..."

Okay that's deep :)

Sang Nabi ﷺ Pun Berproses

@edgarhamas

Salah satu inspirasi terbesar kehidupan Rasulullah ﷺ yang relate dengan semua orang adalah: betapa pentingnya sebuah proses.

Syaikh Hasan Diddou menyampaikan, "bahwa salah satu tiang yang menyangga kesuksesan Rasul ﷺ adalah At Tadarruj Al Marhaliyah", maknanya: berlevel dan berproses.

Baginda Rasul ﷺ menjadi manusia besar yang dipilih jadi utusan Allah tentu bukan dengan persiapan yang serba tiba-tiba.

Masa kecil dan remaja beliau menunjukkan pada kita semua bahwa Nabi ﷺ benar-benar dididik oleh Allah untuk jadi manusia yang kuat fisik dan mentalnya. Beliau ﷺ telah menjadi yatim sejak kecil, sang ibu wafat saat usianya 6 tahun, disusul sang kakek yang berpulang saat beliau 8 tahun.

Baginda Nabi muda telah bekerja mandiri sejak usia beliau 15 tahun, menggembala domba: yang ternyata hikmahnya pun luarbiasa.

Setidaknya, kata Ibnu Hajar Al Asqalani, Rasul muda dididik Allah sebagai penggembala domba dengan hikmah istimewa: agar terbiasa dengan kesepian, supaya memiliki sifat yang rendah hati, dan punya gambaran bagaimana cara memanajemen.

Rasul menjadi manusia hebat dengan proses.

Aku pun ingin bertanya padamu: bukankah Allah Mahakuasa untuk memenangkan Nabi Muhammad ﷺ 1 hari saja setelah beliau diutus menjadi Rasul ﷺ?

Ya, Allah Mahakuasa atas itu. Namun dengan hikmah luarbiasa, kita disuguhkan kisah perjuangan Nabi yang 23 tahun; panjang dan penuh tantangan.

Agar umatnya tahu bahwa berproses adalah cara kita mengimani sunnatullah. Allah adalah Rabb yang Mahabijaksana, Al Hakim. Dia menetapkan sebuah sistem dimana siapapun yang ingin berjaya; janganlah ia nafikan proses.

Bahkan, kau tahu kan? Langit dan bumi diciptakan dalam 6 masa.

"Jika Allah berkehendak, Dia Mahakuasa untuk menciptakan semesta sekejap saja", tulis Imam Al Qurthubi, "namun Allah mengajarkan hamba-Nya tentang kelembutan dan ketelitian pada segala hal..."

Maka, kawan, hargailah proses. Di situ sabar dan syukurmu terasa sangat bermakna.

The news and videos coming from Gaza today are so beyond horrifying and grim.

Israeli jets bombed thousands of civilians fleeing to South Gaza on a route they were told was safe.

Al-Buraq school, where thousands of displaced civilians took refuge was attacked and at least 20 have been killed.

Israeli forces open fired at Al-Quds hospital. One was killed and the majority of wounded were children.

Israeli tanks have multiple hospitals in Gaza surrounded, trapping all those taking refuge inside.

Okay, I see a glimpse of my forever in you really hit me. This would give me a good night :)

if we should protect children because they are vunerable, this means you would protect cruel children who bullies people who different than them then. the children who responsible to trauma for someone else's entire years

You're assuming that "protecting" children is the same as absolving them of responsibility and that's not what I said. All children are vulnerable, because all children are children; they don't come out of the womb with a perfectly working moral compass anymore than they come out of it waiting to hurt people--they're vulnerable because their understanding of the world is entirely at the mercy of what we, as adults, consistently tell them and show them. Children behaving cruelly aren't exempt from that--they learn that cruelty from somewhere, or someone. Your job, as the adult, is to make sure they understand that it's unacceptable so it will not happen again--but your job is also to ask why someone that young is behaving this way to begin with, so you can ensure they become better.

"Protecting" kids is not ignoring when they hurt or torment others, it's not refusing to teach them consequences or right from wrong, it's not "zero tolerance" policies in schools that treat a child being bullied and the child bullying them as equal instigators, and it's certainly not protecting them from recognizing, and atoning for, the pain they have caused someone else. You don't have to make peace with the now-adults who hurt you when you both were kids, but you cannot let the horrors of your own childhood impact how you treat or respond to the children living theirs around you right now, either.

You don't protect kids so they can get a free pass for bullying or tormenting another child. You protect them because kids are impulsive, emotionally reactive, and profoundly social (which means deeply impressionable) human beings who are still learning & processing insane amounts of information every day about what it means to be alive, to be alive as yourself, to be alive as yourself with other people. Protecting them is realising that you can't isolate the responsibility of a 10 year old from the bigger responsibility of the literal grown adults around them, adults who are in charge of teaching them about the world and how to behave in it. Whether you have children of your own in the future or not is completely irrelevant to this; we all become those adults eventually--no matter what happened to us as kids.

I think that's why it's sick
